The seventh sign of
the Zodiac is Libra, cardinal airy sign of Tamas nature ruled by Venus of which
it is the active field. In the seventh house are judged the environment,
partner, spouse, material desires, business etc.
The start line
joining the signs Aries and Libra divides the Zodiac equally into two halves.
Life started in Aries through seeding in matters finds its destruction of the
body in the seventh sign Libra through material enjoyments. Libra is symbolized
by a balance with which matter is weighed i.e. it is evaluated. Saturn is the
ruler of the tenth and the eleventh signs of the Zodiac viz. Capricorn and
Aquarius respectively. The tenth house signifies work while the eleventh the
success. The highest expression of work signified by Capricorn is in the tenth
sign counted from it i.e. Libra while the ninth sign counted from Aquarius
being Libra is the origin of success.
Strong and
unafflicted Saturn in the planetary kingdom is designated in Astrology as the
hermit planet. Saturn is the significator of Eternal Time ruled by the goddess
Dakshina Kali according to Hindi Tantra Shashtra. The true evaluation of
activities of any living being is done in course of Time and the higher this
evaluation, the more advancement the being makes in course of its progress in
respect of purification for ultimate attainment of godhood. According to Hindu
Philosophy, work should be without any expectation for results and for the good
of others. Such work is the origin of true success of any native. As the lord
of Capricorn and Aquarius, Saturn when posted in Libra fulfills both the
purposes. Again, Libra being cardinal airy sign of Tamas nature, here the
function of Saturn is on material basis with the progressive mind. With this
criterion, Saturn in Libra helps a native to expand his activities in the
environment. Saturn being the symbol of Eternal Time and being very slow
planet, the evaluation of progressive work signified by Saturn is also very
slowly in the scale of Time.
On the contrary,
Aries is the cardinal fiery sign of Tamas nature ruled by Mars of which it is
the active field. Life cycle started in Aries tends to expand itself vigorously
around it like the flames of fire. Life in Aries is unbounded without any
restriction as signified by the vigor of the youth and characterized by impetuosity.
With this, the lord Mars tends to overcome all obstructions to establish him in
the form of life. But Saturn is the slowest planet (excluding Herschel, Neptune
and Pluto), very old and lame as described in Astrology but due to experiences
gathered in life, Saturn attains matured intelligence and farsightedness in old
age with an all round view. The rashness and hot-headedness of Mars are quite
in disharmony with Saturn and the steps in any field made by Saturn are also
very slow. This becomes apparent from the slow movement of a saturnine native
who is also more active in the mental level rather than in physical level. In
other words, the Saturnine characteristics are quite in contrary to those of
the sign Aries. Therefore Saturn in Aries loses all its strength i.e. the
selection of the sign Aries as the house of debilation for Saturn is quite
justified.
